Commentary on Isaiah 2:21
Repetition of verse 19's imagery (hiding in clefts and rocks) emphasizes the universality and intensity of terror when God arises in judgment. The purpose clause—'when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth'—identifies divine theophany as the cause. This cosmic shaking anticipates Haggai 2:6-7 and Hebrews 12:26-29's warning that God will shake both heaven and earth, leaving only the unshakeable kingdom. God's judgment removes all false security, driving humanity to seek refuge in Him alone.
